Constructor Details
- AncestorEnumeration
  
  public AncestorEnumeration(NodeInfo start, boolean includeSelf)
  
  Create an iterator over the ancestor or ancestor-or-self axis
  
  Parameters:
  
  start - the initial context node
  
  includeSelf - true if the "self" node is to be included
Method Details
- next
  
  public final NodeInfo next()
  
  Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
  
  Get the next item in the sequence. This method changes the state of the iterator.
  
  Specified by:
  
  next in interface AxisIterator
  
  Specified by:
  
  next in interface SequenceIterator
  
  Returns:
  
  the next item, or null if there are no more items. Once a call on next() has returned null, no further calls should be made. The preferred action for an iterator if subsequent calls on next() are made is to return null again, and all implementations within Saxon follow this rule.
